But if the other members also have sinned, why should they not fast, too... Let the eye fast from strange sights and from every wantonness, so that that which roamed in freedom in fault-doing may, abundantly humbled, be checked by penitence. Let the ear, blameably eager to listen, fast from tales and rumors, and from whatsoever is of idle import, and tendeth least to salvation. Let the tongue fast from slanders and murmurings, and from useless, vain, and scurrilous words, and sometimes also, in the seriousness of silence, even from things which may seem of essential import. Let the hand abstain from ... all toils which are not imperatively necessary. But also let the soul herself abstain from all evils and from acting out her own will. For without such abstinence the other things find no favor with the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65218]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play.

It is the most humanitarian of all known bodies of laws before recent times. The laws about slavery, which envisage the liberation of Hebrew slaves after seven years, are a good example. But there are also laws protecting the poor: interest (always high in the ancient East) was prohibited, and again there was a moratorium after a term of years... Even strangers, who normally had very little protection in antiquity, except when they were citizens of a strong neighbouring state which might step in and protect them by force of arms, are exceptionally well cared for by Mosaic law.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3429]]></link><description><![CDATA[So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11782]]></link><description><![CDATA[The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Things change.
